Drawn

Today I tried to do some drawing.
It's not taken me 4 years of art college to realise that I have definate problems visualising through the medium of a pen or pencil, writing and talking have always been my method. Still, sometimes I think i can get into the right frame of mind and get something, eventhough it's usually of little use either to the eye or to my drawing self-esteem. But it still doesn't stop me thinking that one day ill be able to put pen to paper and impress myself out of the blue, it's something I really want to be good at I just think I lack the confidence to trust my hand and my eye.

I tried to be methodological about it today. I was enthused when I saw a copy of a book by David Shrigley "Red Book"
I think he uses his witty observations to do what I want to be able to do, visualise and humour, at the same time! A genious.
So, I thought, if I made some observations (left vague for maximum options) I could work with my little skill on content rather than ability. I managed a few doodles and kept up the momentum for about an hour. Hopefully I'll come back to them in a few days and be interested to give it another go. I think it's a step in at least some direction. I'd like to be able to use drawing more in my practice and general life, I am meant to be an artist afterall.
